Jupyter Notebooks available in cloud like google colab.
How many of you are using jupyter notebooks installed in your local machine which eats up 10% of your system’s RAM and storage. Here after no need to install anaconda for jupyter or use google colab.
Jupyter notebook is an open source web application that allows you to write code, share your code in the form of documents or download it as a HTML and LATEX. Jupyter supports nearly 40 languages. Popular languages are Python, R, Julia, Scala.
So to get a jupyter notebook you should have a microsoft account, if you don’ t have go to this link and create your account.
Once you have created your account go to google and type Azure Notebooks or go to this link.
Once you clicked the link, it should look something like this in the image above. Then click My Projects which is at top near to Microsoft Azure Notebooks. Please Sign in again using Microsoft account.
In the My project your projects will be displayed which ever you created for Python, R, etc. So lets create a new project by clicking the home symbol at the top left.
So here your starred projects that is when ever you create a notebook or project you can make it starred which indicates it as very important and make it visible at your home page. Now click “create one now?”
In this box there is something called memorable name put some name for your project. I will put “Rprogramming”. Once you type at the second box it will automatically shows you the ID. This ID is whenever you want to share your project to someone. He/She can type this ID and watch your project. Don’t enable the public box and make it default for Initialize the project with a README. Click Create.
So this is how you create the project anyways its your wish to enable the public. But before enabling the public please read the instructions given below.
So once you have clicked the create button it should automatically takes you to My Project site. So you can see there is README.md file and RProgramming name is displayed at the top.
Now click RUN on Free Compute which displayed near README.md. It should take you to the next window name Microsoft Azure Notebooks Jupyter.
This looks same like the jupyter we get in anaconda. The README.md file is also there where we have created the project at the initial stage. Now click new to check what are all the languages supporting in azure notebooks.
So we have F#, python 2, python 3, python 3.6 and R. Which is really good awesome. Because you cannot run R programming in google colab. Google colab is only for python. So click which language you want and jupyter notebook will run the kernel.
I clicked R programming and it works pretty fine it looks same like we work on jupyter notebooks in the local host. Actually you can also upload notebooks into the azure notebook.
Ya guys so you have learned how to create Jupyter Notebook in Microsoft Azure. So what ever you like to do in Jupyter notebook can be done in this Azure notebook.
If you get benefit when reading this blog please don’t hesitate to give me a clap and provide a comment to improve myself.
See you in another blog. Bye :)
